[QUOTE="russ010, post: 286119, member: 677"] I didn't deck my front any higher because I didn't have any extra room to keep my center of gravity low. You've got a lot more room between your middle bench and the bow bench... you should be fine running the deck from the middle bench lid to the front bow. It won't be decked all the way up to the gunwhales, and you' should be back a little further towards the middle than I was in my boat too. As far as framing - use whatever you can afford. I used 2x2 on that build, and it's still lasting today. I've used aluminum on the rest, but that's really only because I got to where I could pay a little more with the money I sold other boats for.
